I have been using those japanese oil film removal (yellow bottle) bought from auto-bac for the past years but seems that the oil film will come back after a weeks or so after applied , is there any other better products ?

Bro Contax..due to our daily driving..is unavoidable..road film will start building up 2 to 3 weeks...I do a hand polishing on the windscreen monthly..now going to grab a portable drill with pads to polish..

I have the same irritating problem.

Spent a lot of money using the Jap brand oil film remover, then it comes back again and again.

I also use Nu-glass. Unfortunately, it's the same thing. Clean, then it comes back again.

 

Doesn't look like there's a more permanent solution.

 

Probably our air quality is very bad.

Since I don't have access to a drill or polishing pad, do you think cleaning the windscreen with diluted dishwashing detergent + using toothpaste as a polishing compound would work???

Does Nu-glass remove those "tiger stripes" on the windscreen? I know there's no permanent solution but I was using Autoglym Car Glass Polish and it does not get rid of the "tiger stripes"

Nu-glass works like the Jap oil film remover.

It does remove the "tigers" stripe.

 

It's slightly cleaner to use. The Jap ones leave behind a lot of powdery substance to clean up.

 

Nu-glass is not abrasive, unlike Autoglym Glass Polish. So it can't "polish"
